How about doing something (more?) with your suggestion, James??? I'm
drowning a bit over here, so I'll not look at this until at least
after the w/e I think.

I'm gagging to try your weather and news feed apps, as well as
Patrick's POP3 connector now... I'll be playing for a bit yet I
suspect.

Patrick made the point that a low-end device might not have the
processing power to cope with such fields, but I figured that other
software applications could queue the display message, allowing
temporary overlays if a higher priority/shorter display item came in
perhaps.

I might add a Verbose priority option (4) to that list above as some
displays you might want to see EVERYTHING, and others might want just
general (useful) information and above.
